News Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Has Almost 300 Trophies, But Zero PS5 Platinums
Platinums only on PS4, apparently
An enormous part of the appeal when it comes to retro remasters or compilations like Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is earning spangly new Trophies in classic games. Developer Aspyr appears to understand this, as it’s plotting almost 300 Trophies across the upcoming trilogy, according to lists published by Insider...

MythForce is certainly an eye-catching game, with its cartoon-inspired aesthetic tapping into a specific nostalgia centre in our brains. It's a good thing, then, that the cooperative melee roguelike is coming out even sooner than we'd expected: step into a classic Saturday morning cartoon from 12th September on PS5 and PS4...
News Saturday Morning Roguelike MythForce Brings Cartoon Chaos to PS5, PS4
Nostalgia intensifies
MythForce is a love letter to the types of 80s cartoons those of us of a certain vintage (or who had older siblings) will likely recall from idle younger days. Currently in Early Access on PC, it features first-person fantasy combat and cooperative multiplayer and is making the jump to PS5 and PS4 in Fall (or Q3, if you...
News Star Wars Republic Commando Is Back, and Here's The Launch Trailer
Engage tactical visor
After announcing back in February that Star Wars Republic Commando would be the latest title resurrected on the PlayStation 4 by Aspyr, the day to actually play it is upon us.

Mini Review Star Wars Republic Commando - One of Star Wars’ All-Time Classics Has Still Got It
Initiate radical restructuring, commando
When Star Wars Republic Commando launched in 2005, it was ahead of its time. It found a perfect balance between the tactical, detail-intensive gameplay of shooters like Rainbow Six and the cinematic bombast of Call of Duty. It nailed this so well, that now, 16 years later, the game holds up shockingly well...
Back from the dead
At its most basic level, Stubbs the Zombie is a relatively simple game. You play the titular monster, and you need to eat your way through the art deco utopia of Punchbowl. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, after the first couple of levels, you’ve been introduced to all the abilities and powers that Stubbs has at his disposal...
News Feast Your Eyes on the Launch Trailer for Stubbs the Zombie
Dig in
Aspyr's latest classic port is lurching ever closer into view, as Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse comes crawling onto the PlayStation 4.

This is finally podracing
With a release date once again, it looks like the PlayStation 4 port of the fondly remembered Star Wars Episode I: Racer is finally set to clear the finish line.

Mini Review Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - A Wonderful Treasure from Star Wars' Glory Days
Jedi business
Coming hot off the heels of the acclaimed Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy is a surprisingly robust experience given its short development cycle. Stepping into the boots of Jaden Korr rather than the series’ usual protagonist Kyle Katarn makes for an interesting change of pace. You play as a student, learning...
Holding out for a hero
Death in video games is so frequent that it has virtually lost all meaning. Any slip up is instantly forgiven, and the player is often respawned perfectly alive and well almost instantly. Next Up Hero twists this dynamic on its head, turning game death into a playable mechanic. Next Up Hero is an isometric dungeon crawler...
Debut voyage
Ever since its release in 2012, a multitude of indie developers have tried to emulate the experience provided by Journey. The likes of ABZÛ and AER: Memories of Old have come close to replicating what made the PlayStation 3 release so special, but then there are other imitators that miss the mark completely. InnerSpace, the debut title...
